I am running 3.9-rc1 from wireless-testing, and both my RTL8187L and RTL8187B can connect to WEP, WPA1, and WPA2 networks without a problem. At the moment, it is not convenient for me to boot 3.9-rc1 from mainline, but I should be able to do that tomorrow. What kind of encryption are you using, and what is the USB ID for your device as shown by the lsusb command? Larry ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
